How to make Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches

✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and instructions!

PREP: Gather your ingredients and add to the slow cooker.
COOK: Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours until the beef is fork tender.
SHRED: Using forks, place forks facing away from each other a pull to shred the beef. You can remove the to a cutting board to do this or shred directly in the crock pot. Allow beef to sit in juices and

Step 1. Grab your rump roast or chuck roast will work as well. Garlic Salt (have you noticed I use this ALOT- love it) to taste on all sides. Into the Crock Pot it goes. Sprinkle on that Zesty Italian Dressing Dry Mix. Spoon on those pepperoncinis and splash in a little of the juice, for good measure, or a BIG splash in my case. Pour the beef broth in the bottom of the pot.

Step 2. Lid on. Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours. Then you have this deliciousness going on!

Step 3. Remove and shred by pulling with two forks. Place shredded beef on hogie roll and top with provolone cheese. Broil in oven for 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread toasted (I have never met two ovens alike ya'll). Top with some of the cooked peppers and Giardinieria Mix. Oh so yum!!!

Step 4. For the au jus - drain the juice through a strainer to get all the peppers and drippings out. Unless of course you like that in your juice! It's all good! And if you want some extra goodness with this meal, fry up some homemade fries!! Oh DAD is going to be DROOLING today!
